PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"prematurely voted off/worst voting mistakes" |
Season 1: Joel Klug: Joel made some comments that were interpreted to be sexist. Gervase made a comment that was definitely sexist. (I think it was "women are as dumb as cows" or something like that.) Joel gets voted off. Does that make sense? But as if that wasn't confusing enough, Joel was kind of the defacto leader of the group, whereas Gervase was just lazy. But the real kicker is that Joel was the only Pagonger that seemed to get it regarding the upcoming merge. With Joel gone, Pagong was clueless at the merge, and thus the term "pagonging" was created. Jenna's quote in F9 pretty much sums it up: "if they vote one more of us off, then we'll be sure they have an alliance." Great thinking Jenna, by then it's too late to do antyhing about it. Season 2: Keith Famie: pretty much common knowledge here. Colby threw away probably a 7-0 win for a less than 50/50 shot, and paid for it (in this case, to the tune of $900,000) Debb Eaton: Pre-merge, you should always eliminate the weakest links. Anytime a tribe kicks off stronger members in lieu of weaker members, they keep losing challenges and have to vote off more members. All-stars ignored this rule to death, and various tribes paid for it. Debb was tough and pulled her own weight. They should have realized that Kimmi was the weaker link. She is a vegetarian, and while there's nothing wrong with that, it doesn't transfer well over to survivor. Their food source is as limited as it is, and when you limit it even more, your doomed for quick elimination. Kucha couldn't see this, and voted off the stronger Debb instead. Immediately following this, they almost paid for it at the next immunity challenge, as Kimmi refused to eat a creature. She got lucky when Jeff cheated and forced Tina to hurl, sending the game into a tie. Apparently, Kimmi can eat a worm, and Kucha gets damn lucky. Eventually, Kimmi's vegeatrianism isolates her from the tribe and they vote her off at the next opportunity. But that wasn't even the worst of it. By not voting off Kimmi, she spilled the beans regarding Debb's one, seemingly meaningless vote for Jeff, eventually leading to the extinction of Kucha. Kel Gleason: see above. Another member eliminated because of his isolation from the group, despite being stronger than other members. Kel's elimination sent Ogakor into a freefall, and they kept losing challenger after challenge. Tina and Colby finally realized what was happening and reversed course, voting off weaker links like Mitchell. Season 3: Silas Gaither: Frank and Theresa were just so hellbent on getting revenge at Silas that they failed to see that they were giving the old Boran team a 3-2 advantage. Season 8: pretty much the whole damn season. Tina is voted off but Rudy stays, sure enough that tribe loses the next immunity challenge as well. Lex's team votes off Rich, Colby and Ethan, but keep immunity challenge liability Shii-Ann, and the whole tribe quickly becomes extinct.

2. "RE: prematurely voted off/worst voting mistakes" |
Hi wiseguy, welcome to the boards.
I just wanted to comment on a few of your remarks:>Season 2: >Keith Famie: True but Colby wanted Keith gone from the start. During the 4th episode, Tina managed to change his mind only by promising him that Keith wouldn't stay to the end. Colby knew what he was doing, knew he was taking a chance but that's what he wanted to do and apparently never regretted it. >Debb Eaton: Huh???? Very convoluted reasoning here. Kimmi won the challenge for Kucha after all and she was never considered weak. She was always working in camp. You can't expect Kucha knowing that Tina would get Kimmi to talk!
(Also: What Jeff V. did to distract Tina wasn't cheating, just gamesmanship)
Before merge you vote out the weak AND the ones that don't fit in. That was Debb. >Kel Gleason: First, remember that Kel didn't help at all during the trek to camp. That's how the Ogakor alliance of Jerri- Mitchell- Tina- Colby and Amber was formed: Those five worked together to carry the load while Kel and Keith kept forging ahead to scout the area.
Second: Challenges weren't physical back then so they had reason to believe they'd do well without Kel who no one trusted.
Season 3:
Forget Silas, the worst votes of Africa came at F9 and F8:
- Boran threw the game away when they voted out Kelly
- Samburu gave it right back when they voted out Brandon even if they could have eliminatred a Boran with prior votes.
Season 8:
Here also, the worst votes were Jerri's instead of Amber and then Big Tom instead of Rupert.
I'll had a few of the worse votes ever that you missed: S4: Hunter is the evident one...
BUT: Gabe is probably the least talked about terrible decision. It told Kathy, Neleh and Paschal that not everyone in Rotu was in the alliance. It opened the door to Rotu's fall.
S5: Suck Job eliminating Robbbb just when he had seen the light. He would have stayed loyal and was stronger than Shii Ann.
At F6, Ted and Helen had to take care of the goat, Clay, rather than Jake.
S6: - Dave going for an older tribe but then keeping Heidi instead of Jeanne.
- Robb C eliminating Christy over Jenna. Rob had Matt to be his goat but he wanted to have 2. Matt stole the 2nd goat who wasn't a goat after all!
S7: - Voting out Trish instead of Fairplay. Sure, Trish proposed voting out Rupert but JFP showed he was eagerly on board and much more dangerous. - Voting out Shawn instead of JFP. They feared that Shawn would reunite with Burton but he had voted Burton out. - Voting out Tijuana instead of Burton. Sandra was Dumb. Post-A$$ also had its share.
